Sugar House! Yes! Truly one of the best and cleanest proposals with the cleanest investors (no ties to probe, Billy D'Elia).

Big Billy D'Elia is one of the PA mob bosses.

There's an article in today's Ink or DN on DiNaples (nonPhilly slots applicant) and his ties to Big Billy.

Willie F. Johnson has done business with Big Billy for many years. It's noted in the book by Sean Patrick Griffin.

Sugarhouse is Shackamaxon St., Riverwalk @ Spring Garden, Sugarhouse is the correct winner?

Yes, Sugar House is 150 feet away from one of my best friends houses.

I guess he's going to get "eminant domained"

If you think this is a great choice, you obviously don't live in the neighborhood. This is horrible.

I agree with those who say the people that are happy with this decision must not live in the area. I also live about 150 feet from the site and considering all the problems we had to deal with when nightclubs were in this area we fully expect this to be 100 times worse. Thanks a lot, Harrisburg.

We still need a development plan for the riverfront. Building 2 gigantic casinos is not the solution.

philly.com says there's going to be a protest 6:00 tonight at Shackamaxon and Delaware. Spread the word.
